Peggy Noonan in the WSJ

Frank Rich is running around with his antiwar screeds as if it's 1968
and he's an idealist with a beard, as opposed to what he is, a guy who
if he pierced his ears gravy would come out.

not that it isn't efficient.

I have no idea what the gravy thing is about. Some idiom I don't know.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

Peggy Noonan is yet another rightwing ideologue who's gone off the deep
end.

Remember, she's responsible for G. H. W. Bush not being reelected, with
the damning line "Read my lips: no new taxes." (Also "1000 points of
light" and "kindler gentler nation.")

Amazing how you never manage to find a single linguistic oddity in any
liberal columnist!
